HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Stijn

  • How do I unlock My Documents folder in the hard-drive with another PC?

    I have a 3000 series j100 desktop, 3 days ago restarted on its own and can't boot anymore, no keyboard, no mouse and no monitor signal sent from the pc.
    I took the drive out and use it as an external drive to my laptop, but it asks for a password before I can access My Documents folder.
    I believe it's the windows xp login password that's needed, but there's no field on that pop-up box to enter any password it asks.
    I know my windows login password, but I don't know if that's what really needed and how to use it to unlock the folder.
    Is there another way to access the folder, or do I need to get the computer working again to access the folder in the drive?
    I also do have some encrypted files inside My Documents folder that I created with windows when the pc was working.
    The encryption comes along with windows xp. When you right-click a file, you choose properties and advance option then apply the encryption, then the file name turns color to green.
    Could it be the reason I can't access My Documents folder in the drive with another pc?
    Please help, I need to know if I need to do a recovery job or is there an easy way to access My Documents folder in the drive with another computer.

  • How can i change my appleid username from one email address to another

    Sign out of your Apple ID under Settings - iTunes & App Stores, and then enter the new ID you're using with the pw.

  • How can I change my apple ID from the APP store so I can update my  app? my computer is stuck with an old email and won't let me change it..

            Hello, Im trying to upgrade Imovie and whatever app are about to update in the future, the problem is the my Imac is stuck with an old email on the APP store. I try to change it and nothing happen, when I put my apple ID it send me to change the password and what Im trying to do is to put my new email in the system so would be able to update my computer. You know when you press the update button a little box drop with your email and all you have to put is your password thats where my old email is stuck pls someone help me with that little problem i'll appreciate it... thanks

    An Apple ID isn't necessarily "linked" with your email other than for recovery reasons. So, as long as you know the Apple ID password, an old email isn't catastrophic. Apple ID != e-mail.
    Now, if it's really bugging you and you really want to change it, if you log in to http://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address, this should update your Apple ID. There will be a couple hoops involved with this (i.e. verification of email change by sending email to rescue/alternate email. Alternate email can't be the same as the new primary. The new primary can't have ever been used as/with an Apple ID. etc...).

  • FW vs. USB & can you move a backup folder to a larger drive later?

    I'm about to get an external drive to use for TM. Is Firewire (400 or 800) going to be noticeably faster than a USB drive? I ask because I would think that a single external platter can only transfer so much data to the disk at once and USB might be fast enough to keep the drive maxed out as far as write speed.
    I have a 320 GB internal drive in my iMac and have used 125 GB so far (195 GB free). I'll probably get a 750 GB external drive for TM. If it fills up in 6 months (give or take - I don't add/change that much data per day) can I then buy a larger, say 1.5 TB drive and copy the TM backup folder to the new drive and have the TM app see all the old backups on the new drive?
    Thanks in advance

    engstrom,
    Best I can tell, drives are currently topping out at about 1.5 Gbs/sec. This is for 7200 RPM external drives, connected on an eSATA bus. So yes, a very large benefit can be realized by using your best bus for connecting an external drive.
    I have just such a drive, but I am using its Firewire 800 functionality (I haven't yet picked up an eSATA Expresscard). In real-world use, it will transfer about 3 GBs (that's gigaBytes) a minute, over the Firewire 800 bus. I am interested to find what it will do over eSATA, once I pick up a card.
    If transfer speeds are a concern to you, I do recommend that you get the best drive you can, and use the best connection you can. USB will be somewhat slower than FW 400, and FW 400 is half the speed of FW 800.
    I'm not certain that you're going to be able to transfer the backup on one drive to another. You may need to start over with a new "full" Time Machine backup, then continue from there. There's no problem with copying the Time Machine backup to another drive, and there is no problem with then changing Time Machine's preferences to use this new drive. What I'm not sure about, however, is that Time Machine will then recognize the existing backup as "its" backup, and not some other machine's. Not having had the chance (or cause) to test this yet, I'm just not certain.
    Even if it turns out that Time Machine will not recognize the copied backup, it's not that big a deal. Your older backup will still remain on the old drive; you'll just have your backups spanning multiple drives. In the end, this might be better anyway, since more space will be available for your future backups.

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

    You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements.   Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.
